A HoloLens application related to pre-operative patient planning, approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The HoloLens application OpenSight Augmented Reality System is one augmented reality for surgery applications, manufactured by company Novarad and enables surgeons to create interactive 2D, 3D and even 4D anatomical images of their patients, accurately projecting them onto the patient's body to enable accurate surgical planning.
Unlike previous pre-operative planning systems that use virtual reality, OpenSight uses Microsoft HoloLens® glasses, which allow doctors to view 3D images of patients in augmented reality, highlight relevant anatomy and avoid critical structures , while at the same time they can place virtually tools and guidance systems to more accurately plan a surgical approach.
Overlapping of holograms can be observed simultaneously by multiple users of HoloLens glasses, which makes them useful in both clinical and educational environments. In addition, an educational version of the software available for medical students is provided to perform virtual dissections in corpses.
